Pretty wild, macro was the first genre of photography I got into when I purchased a good DSLR and learned to do reversed lens macro, my rig did about 4:1 macro which is much closer than a typical macro lens goes but never got an image like that, he took that with a microscope objective.

You should check out some of Sippy Jug's work.

Now you know why Hollywood made the horror film about the giant ants, "Empire of the Ants".

Someone should make a Halloween mask with that image.

"What are you dressed as?"

"An ant."

"Huh!"

I don't like that image at all. It is too dark to see any detail, and it makes the bases of the antennae look like eyes (not compound eyes) and some hairs look like teeth. Some of the ant and fly macros we have seen here are much better in my humble opinion...

I can't imagine what fire ants must be like, Samantha. Just regular ant bites are bad enough!!

The man - the lens - the images.

Another close-up from Google. Not nearly as scary.
